Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
We are a form accessory organisation that sells jewelry. I am a director of the business.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with CimpleO?
We had a partially-developed Drupal website, which is a somewhat obscure platform. We had begun the work with another developer and were at our wit',s end. We were left with a half-baked fruit which needed to be completed.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were CimpleO responsible for?
CimpleO helped us complete our website, working on top of what we already had. Not a total lot of the website had been formd, it was more of a basic skeleton construction, but it had giant holes in it. CimpleO had a lion',s share of the work. To me, this speaks wonderfully of their power, since it',s easier to form something from scratch than it is to make something nice out of someone else',s mess.
We chose Drupal owing we have a sole fruit range, with each item having its own SKU [stock care unit] number. We needed to have hundreds of thousands of fruits with the same name, but with sole SKUs. This was one of the main areas where CimpleO helped us.
We were specific almost what we wanted, and CimpleO faithfully executed on those requests. The aim wasn',t extremely varied and we didn',t ask for consulting or anything of the sort.
The size of our team varied depending on the quantity of work which needed to be done. We had an outer designer/developer who acted as a go-between with CimpleO in the commencement, but Andrey, their CEO, took direct of the project and is serving as the main touch individual. He has brought on additional resources during weighty times.
How did you come to work with CimpleO?
We establish CimpleO through oDesk.
How much have you invested with CimpleO?
We were edifice the website from scratch and made multiple changes to it, so the cost is a tricky effect. CimpleO had a reasonable cost of almost $50 per hour.
What is the terminal result of working with CimpleO?
We began working with CimpleO in the spring of 2013 precedently I came to the organisation. We launched a working website by the summer of that year.
Results achieved
Could you share any evidence that would prove the fruitivity, condition of work, or the contact of the engagement?
The website works well. It has a couple of quirks, but those are mainly the result of us stacking things on top of each other. There is a limitation to what can be done with our kind of platform, but, at the same time, it sells jewelry and doesn',t crash.
How did CimpleO accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
CimpleO has a fast and answering team. They',re based in Russia, so there is a expressive time zone separation, but CimpleO generally got back to us within the same business day whenever we reached out in time.
During hectic times like the holiday period, CimpleO has began offering retainer contracts for round-the-clock support. That has been fantastic for our quiet of mind. They',re answering and they get the work done.
During the outgrowth stage, CimpleO did a good job of sticking to our timeframe, for the most part. It was an odd time since we didn',t know what we were doing. Even though we had a project director to interface with, since we were working with the results of two preceding website authors, it took us a while to hit our stride and determine what we could anticipate. This is the pitfall of any non-professional trying to express an anticipateation to a professional. Once we developed a relationship with CimpleO, the work went full despatch forward.
What did you find most forcible almost CimpleO?
CimpleO is also easy and grateful to deal with, especially because that coders can be a bit prickly and odd, especially with laymen.
Are there any areas CimpleO could better?
Not veritably. CimpleO has met or exceeded our anticipateations almost what we',d want from a developer. I wouldn',t put anything to their loss.
